Shaw outruns Starmer at I-35
By: Phillip Wilson

WINSTON, MO (Sept. 19) - I-35 Speedway was back over 100 cars this week, 102 cars to be exact and what a show they put on in front of the best race fans in the world.

The 750 Midgets made their last appearance at the speedway this season. Jimmy Winkler got back into victory lane holding off Mark Shields and Anthony Boehm.

Thomas Roberts became the second stock car driver to make the switch to the Grand Nationals and come away with the win. Roberts held off points leader Mike Jones, Jason Anderson rebounded from an early spin to finish 3rd, Mike Taylor Jr was 4th and Dean Wray 5th. Mike Jones gained 9 spots to win the hard charger.

Jeff Stotts came into tonight winless on the season but tonight Stotts would find his way back to victory lane in IMCA Sport Mod action. Stotts had a good battle with Shay Woods and Royce Stanley for the final 10 laps. Eventally Stotts would pull away and claim his 3rd career win. Woods would claim the 2nd spot, Stanley was 3rd, Blake Peeler and Jon Boller Jr. finished 4th and 5th. Aaron Duvall gained 13 spots to win the hard charger award.

Few people have challenged IMCA Hobby Stock driver Eric Stanton this season, especially when he gets out front. Tonight Nyle Goodwin did just that and he won by a bumper in only his 2nd visit to the speedway. Stanton did hold on for 2nd, Greg Kuehn finished 3rd, Dylan Book was 4th and Danny Martin 5th. Goodwin also took home the hard charger award.


IMCA Stock Cars always put on a good show, usually you could throw a blanket over the top 5 and tonight was no different. Gene Stigall and Kevin Anderson traded the lead back and forth, finally Stigall would pull away and win his 3rd feature in 2009. Anderson held on for 2nd, Jake Cameron 3rd, Bennie Turner and Mike Nichols was 4th and 5th. Stigall also took home the hard charger.

28 IMCA Modifieds checked in to the pit area tonight and it was another great battle. Darren Shaw in the 11 and "Stormin" Steve Starmer in the 11s put on a great show for the fans. Starmer took the lead but Shaw battled back and reclaimed the lead and held on for his 2nd win of 2009. Starmer finished 2nd, Ed Schwope Jr. was 3rd, Jim Hopkins 4th and Steven Glenn rebounded from an early spin to finish 5th. Ed Schope Jr. gained 16 spots to win the hard charger award.
